Consider the following reaction at $298 \mathrm{~K}$ : $$2 \mathrm{SO}_{2}(g)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{SO}_{3}(g)$$ An equilibrium mixture contains $\mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})$ and $\mathrm{SO}_{3}(g)$ at partial pressures of $0.50$ atm and $2.0$ atm, respectively. Using data from Appendix 4 , determine the equilibrium partial pressure of $\mathrm{SO}_{2}$ in the mixture. Will this reaction be most favored at a high or a low temperature, assuming standard conditions?

Key Concepts

Temperature Dependence of Equilibrium

Temperature plays a critical role in determining the position of chemical equilibrium. According to Le Chatelier’s principle and the van't Hoff equation, if a reaction is exothermic, an increase in temperature will shift the equilibrium toward the reactants, while a decrease in temperature favors product formation. Conversely, for an endothermic reaction, an increase in temperature shifts the equilibrium toward the products. Understanding this dependence helps in optimizing reaction conditions to favor the formation of desired products under standard conditions.

Equilibrium Constant (Kp) and Partial Pressures

The equilibrium constant expressed in terms of partial pressures (Kp) provides a quantitative measure of the composition of a gaseous system at equilibrium. By setting up the Kp expression using the stoichiometry of the balanced reaction, one can calculate an unknown partial pressure if the other partial pressures and Kp are known. This approach is fundamental in predicting the behavior of the reaction system under various conditions.

Chemical Equilibrium

Chemical equilibrium occurs when the rates of the forward and reverse reactions in a closed system are equal, resulting in constant concentrations of reactants and products. In gas-phase reactions, this concept is expressed in terms of partial pressures. The equilibrium state is characterized by the equilibrium constant, which quantifies the ratio of product pressures to reactant pressures, each raised to a power corresponding to their stoichiometric coefficients.
